Our mission
We exist to make it straightforward for you to manage your equity or start your share scheme.
Sharing equity truly is the secret sauce to commercial success. Share schemes create harmonised teams, keen to go the distance and raring to go the extra mile.
And when it comes to dividing shares with a cofounder, or keeping a real-time and reliable eye on your portfolio, it’s critical to have access to intuitive and affordable solutions.
All of the above is why we created Vestd. It’s our mission to create a world in which sharing is the norm, and effortless.
Generosity
We are devoted to helping our customers to prosper with our easy-to-use equity management platform.
Our bread and butter is helping others to thrive by sharing their goals and efforts.
Intuition
Every single one of our team members is an expert in their field. We get our customers’ aims, we get their blockers and we’ll be there to simplify everything.
To quote Bryan Adams (sort of) everything we do, we do to make life easier for you ♥️.
Revolution
When people are invested, they are inspired. And when people are inspired, they’ll make mince-meat of anything standing in their way.
Our customers are changemakers driving a much-needed business revolution.
The story so far
Born in Bradford, Vestd’s founder and CEO, Ifty Nasir achieved just about everything there is to achieve in the energy world, before bowing out to start his own passion-project, Vestd.
The Stanford graduate set out to uncover the challenges facing companies in 2014 and found that poor equity management was a serious startup killer.
Along with cofounder Naveed Akram, Ifty launched Vestd as a remedy, and our platform has since helped thousands of founders to get started and easily slice their pies.
Ifty isn’t just a big name in ShareTech, he created ShareTech. And that’s why his opinion is trusted and sought across the media and across the heady world of startups.
